R35 GT-R with Aeromotions Dynamic Wing smashes class 4D lap record by 1.3 seconds at Eastern Creek International Raceway

A huge congratulations to Australian racer Duncan Forrest, who has smashed the Class 4D lap record at Eastern Creek International Raceway in Sydney. The old lap record had stood since 2005.

Racing in the NSW Supersprint Series in his Nissan R35 GT-R equipped with an Aeromotions R2 Dynamic Wing, Duncan destroyed the old lap record by a massive 1.323 seconds, posting a time of 1 min 41.087 seconds.

Duncan said of the new record and the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing ...

I won our local state sprint championship (outright) for 2009, smashing lap records at all local tracks along the way.

As ever though, i had to find a way to up the ante for the 2010 season. That's where the Aeromotions R2 wing comes in ...

I now have the wing mounted on a carbon boot, with electrical plugs set up so i can swap it all out (with the stocker trunk/wing) for race days. Easy.

Result on the first outing? At Eastern Creek Sydney (NSW, Australia) for round two of the local time attack/sprint series, we managed to smash the 4D Class lap record by 1.3 seconds!! Securing first for outright points on the day also.

I couldnt believe it ! Awesome ! The car just felt more stable everywhere. Even under drift situations the car feels more predictable and confidence inspiring ...

The addition of the slicks and wing yielded 3.8 seconds around that track in aggregate (amazing).

The slicks had to be at least two seconds so work it out!

I am extremely happy with the Aeromotions Wing. Thanks guys!!

Here's to more smashed records to come!

The new lap record bodes very well for the car's upcoming appearance at Eastern Creek in May at Superlap / World Time Attack Challenge.

Well done Duncan, and the best of luck for the rest of the season.

Our Test Day For World Time Attack Challenge with Mark Berry's Advan / Hi Octane Racing R34 GT-R

On Wednesday we had a very successful test day for the World Time Attack Challenge at Eastern Creek International Raceway with Mark Berry's Advan / Hi Octane Racing R34 GT-R which is now also sponsored by Aeromotions and The Tuners Group.

The team also brought out their legendary R32. Both cars are absolute weapons, particularly the R34.

The Aeromotions R2 Dynamic Wing is now fitted to the R34 and we did some aero testing on the R34.

The wing is working very well.

Mark did an interview for the Superlap / World Time Attack website which reads ...

"With the World Time Attack Challenge drawing closer, the challengers are putting in a serious effort in order to get their cars more competitive.

We caught up with Mark Berry who was out testing the Advan/Hi Octane Racing R34 GT-R at the Eastern Creek Raceway recently.

Superlap: We’ve noticed some funky new body work on the front of your car, does it really make that much difference?

Mark Berry: You’d be surprised! Through the corners we need all the grip we can get and that’s when aero really helps.

SL: You’re also experimenting with an automatically adjustable rear wing…

MB: Yes, it’s all part of the overall strategy to give us more grip under braking and under accelleration."

We stayed out there until they wanted to close the gates around 9.30PM or so, so it was a very worthwhile test day.

Video of the test

Motive DVD (the Australian production company that produces the Motive DVD series and DVD's for Dsport magazine) has released an awesome video from the test we did last week.

Congratulations to Andrew Hawkins from Motive DVD on a great video with some awesome footage !

The video includes in car footage from some of the testing laps, video from outside the car, and some great in car shots of the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing in action
